Aren't you the lucky one. That is beautiful. I am so glad that you won't be cutting it up.

I wouldn't touch it personally. I'd leave it as it. That is magnificent.

Yes, that quilt is a little out of my price range

I volunteer at a local historical society and we have a couple of quilts made with that pattern and dated to the 1830s. I think they were both hand pieced. One isn't in very good condition, so you are lucky to have yours in such nice shape.

What a great link! Granted, all I can afford to do is look at all these gorgeous quilts, but still...

That's a gorgeous quilt. Anxious to see what it looks like after you have refurbished. Gorgeous, extensive hand quilting. We all can only hope some of our quilts live on after we're gone and are appreciated.
